All the time.
Considering Ye Jinlian's safety, five young men with hidden swords in Huangzhou Palace finally formed a guard team to protect her in secret.
Now, Ye Mansion has been massacred and Ye Jinlian has disappeared. In Xia Tian's heart, those five young men with hidden swords have most likely been killed!
Otherwise, they would never let this happen.
Of course, there is a small possibility that Ye Jinlian's disappearance is that the boy with the hidden sword rescued Ye Jinlian when he was outnumbered!
But after entering the mansion, the first dead person Xia Tian saw was Zang Shiliu dressed as a servant of Ye Mansion, and his heart sank.
"After the Ye Mansion was bloodbathed, the scene was not touched, right?"
The Minister of Punishment immediately said: "Your Majesty, after discovering that the Ye Mansion was destroyed, our agents from the Punishment Department rushed here immediately and sealed off the scene, not allowing anyone to move."
Xia Tian praised: "Very good!"
"Did you find any clues?"
The Minister of Punishment shook his head: "The thief is good at Qinggong. He approached the Ye family from behind and wiped their necks in broad daylight, and he succeeded!"
"So when the killing started, Ye Mansion didn't notice it at all!"
"It wasn't until the thief reached the backyard of Ye Mansion that someone started fighting with the thief. There were signs of fighting there!"
At this time.
Zang Yi, who usually hides in the dark, wears the guard uniform of Huangzhou Palace and leads the young men with hidden swords into the gate: "See the prince!"
Then, they looked at the dead body lying on Ksitigarbha 16, and their expressions were as usual!
However, there is sadness in the eyes!
Xia Tian's eyes turned redder: "I have issued a military order in front of the emperor. Within one day, this case will be solved and the missing Ye Jinlian, the head of the Ye family, will be found!"
"Do you understand?"
"clear!"
The flames of revenge in the hearts of the young men with hidden swords have begun to burn brightly.
at this time.
Xia Tian looked at the traces of fighting around him and asked: "Then what are the traces of fighting here?"
Listen to what Xia Tian asked.
The Minister of Punishment pointed at Zang Shiliu on the ground and said: "Your Excellency, after inspecting the scene, our Punishment Department has concluded that this servant of the Ye Mansion should be someone who was chased from the backyard. The murderous gangsters fought here for the final battle. As a result, Killed here!"
Xia Tian narrowed his eyes: "In other words, this is the last battlefield of Ye Mansion?"
The Minister of Punishment nodded: "Yes!"
"There are traces of sword energy damage on the ground. Part of it is caused by the Ye Mansion servant's sword energy, and part of it is caused by the sword energy of the villain. It looks like the fight was very fierce!"
"This Ye Mansion servant is at least a first-class swordsman, very powerful!"
"However, he was obviously under siege. He had more than a hundred knife and sword wounds on his body, and every one of them was fatal!"
Speaking of which.
The Minister of Punishment had a look of admiration on his face and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, all of our colleagues in the Punishment Department are experienced veterans. When we examined this servant's body, everyone was in awe!"
"Because this servant was severely injured from the beginning, but he still persisted in fighting the enemy until he was drained of blood and fell!"
"This Ye Mansion servant is a real hero!"
The more the Minister of Punishment spoke, the more respectful his face became!
Xia Tian's eyes are a lot red again!
He is not a servant of Ye Mansion!
He Zang Shiliu is his sword-hiding boy, the iron guard of Huangzhou Palace, and someone he can always trust.
The Minister of Punishment continued: "It was here that the cry of killing was heard, which alerted the imperial patrol battalion patrolling outside."
"However, the gate of Ye Mansion was closed at that time. It took the Imperial City Patrol Battalion a quarter of an hour to open the gate. When they rushed in, the fighting here was over and the thief had disappeared without a trace!"
At this moment, Zang Shiliu, who was covered in blood, still had his eyes open and refused to close his eyes!
He leaned down and stretched out his hand: "The king is here! You can go in peace!"
"I swear to God that I will kill those thieves and avenge you!"
"They will definitely pay the price!"
Xia Tian put his hand on Zang Shiliu's eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "If you have a spirit in heaven, watch..."
Zang Liu’s eyes were closed!
When Xia Tian took away his hand, the Minister of Punishment was a little surprised and said: "It actually closed it!"
"Your Excellency, we have been trying to get this servant to close his eyes, but he won't close them!"
"Your Excellency..."
Suddenly, the Minister of Punishment didn’t know how to photograph this flattery!
At this moment, Xia Tian's heart aches: "What are the Imperial City Department, the Criminal Department, and the Imperial City Patrol Battalion doing now?"
"Is there any news coming back?"
The deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department said quickly: "We are monitoring the whole city. If we find anyone suspicious, we will arrest him immediately!"
"According to experience, the criminals must want to escape from the city at this time so as to escape the city-wide manhunt. Therefore, our monitoring focus is on the four major city gates and city walls!"
Xia Tian turned his eyes and looked at the general of the Imperial City Patrol Battalion: "If the truth is correct, the Imperial City Patrol Battalion is conducting a city-wide manhunt?"
"Yes!"
The general of the imperial patrol battalion said respectfully: "Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we will still catch the thief!"
Xia Tian asked again: "Where are the people from the Criminal Department?"
The Minister of Punishment said with experience: "The detectives of the Punishment Department have been sent out immediately to ask for clues from all the ghosts and gods in the imperial capital. Then, they will wander around in casual clothes. If they find anyone unusual, they will be arrested immediately!"
Xia Tian was noncommittal: "Take the truth to the backyard!"
"yes!"
Then, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment led Xia Tian and the Huangzhou guards to the backyard. Along the way, they passed the corpses of Ye Mansion's servants and maids. They all had their necks wiped and their blood was spilled on the spot.
Ye Mansion has turned into a bloody and haunted house.
Xia Tian said coldly: "Commander of the Huangzhou Guards Battalion, listen to the order!"
Zangyi bowed and saluted: "The general will be here!"
"Let the soldiers examine the body carefully and see if they can find any clues?"
"yes!"
A pair of young men hiding swords ordered: "Carefully look at the wounds, look at the killing methods, and find out their heels!"
"yes!"
"We must find out their whereabouts!"
"yes!"
At this time.
The old detectives and gangsters of the Punishment Department who were following the Minister of Punishment were not happy!
An old man with gray hair and beard spoke directly: "I have seen everyone's wounds. They are just throat cuts with sharp swords. There is nothing special about them!"
"If you can find clues through the wounds, I will kowtow to you!"
The look of hiding one's eyes and raising one's eyes is very similar to Xia Tian: "What's your name?"
The old man said proudly: "Song Ci, I am not talented. In the past twenty years, I have been called the best man in the world in the Ministry of Punishment!"
"Because I can make the dead speak!"
Zangyi said calmly: "Until now, you haven't found any clues here. Is it because the dead people here don't want to pay attention to you?"
"Or do the dead people here dislike you and won't speak to you?"
"you......"
The old widower Song Ci was choked by Zang Yi's words!
"spread!"
Zang Yi initially took the boys with hidden swords to conduct an autopsy!
The Minister of Punishment took Xia Tian to the backyard and saw among the corpses on the ground, there was a corpse that was particularly gorgeously dressed, with a figure and face similar to Ye Jinlian.
But, it was indeed not Ye Jinlian.
There is no dead sword-hiding boy beside her!
In other words, Ye Jinlian and the four young men with hidden swords disappeared!
Xia Tian's eyes are shining brightly!
At this time.
Zang Yi came in a hurry and said with a solemn expression: "My lord, the Zang sword technique used by those who cut their throats!"
"What?"
Xia Tian narrowed his eyes and replied: "Apart from you, are there any ancient Tibetan sword warriors in this world?"
Zangyi said with a solemn expression: "Yes!"
"Master Qianlong!"
"Or, our dead masters!"
The murderous murder of the Ye family has become even more complicated and confusing...
